Did you know that 15% of people are afraid of dying, while 80% of people are afraid to speak in front of others? However, overcoming this fear will build your bridge between the targets that you set in your own mind and their realization in the real world. Because speaking in out loud what you would like to have not only creates a commitment to yourself, but also attracts the right people to support you on your way!

Do you often have to watch very, very boring presentations at work? Presentations held as 50 slides of Powerpoint with black text on white screen which are flipped through unenthusiastically – and where you wonder, if not even the presenter has a passion for his/her topic, how should you develop the motivation listening to this?

And are you afraid that other people would think the same about your next presentation that you have to give at work? Are you afraid, that even if you prepare really good content, you will be so nervous that you will not remember all the important things you want to say?

Learn in this episode my personal seven secrets how you create a powerful presentation, how you make people curious to listen to you and how you keep a cool energy during your presentation without being afraid to lose the thread!

Would you like to have more feedback in your daily work life? And how often are you asked for feedback yourself? Do you feel comfortable giving feedback? Or do you always feel insecure, because you neither want to embarrass your colleague or your manager nor trigger an aggressive discussion when you feel you actually want to criticize something?

Learn in this episode to what extent the reaction of another person on your feedback has (or has not) something to do with you and what template you can use to give direct and constructive feedback without the risk of upsetting the person you want to criticize.

Do you love your job?

If not – what would you like to be changed? And do you belong to those people who do the first step to actively change circumstances which are in their area of control?

But if you feel you are caught in a work environment in which you don’t feel well, you don’t like it at all and there is absolutely nothing you can change about it, although you have already tried – do you want to complain about that until your retirement? Or is it time to make a decision and leave for something better?

Do you know that when you have to make a decision, but you just can’t decide?! You think about your options again and again, back and forth, you try to handle the list of advantages and disadvantages in you head and you ask for advice from other people – and in the most cases you are still not wiser.

But we have to make decisions – in our every-day life, when we decide what to pick from the menu in a restaurant, or from time to time about the really important topics like our jobs, our relationships and the environment that we want to live in. What we decide will have a big impact.

And because we are so afraid of the consequences to make the wrong decision that these thoughts keep us awake every night while we don’t decide anything at all.

Do you know that? In this episode you learn three tips how you can make quick and good decisions, which are both in line with your rational argumentation and your intuitive thinking.

I had the great pleasure to interview my former colleague and HR Business Partner Veronica Gordon. Originally from Argentina, she came to Finland in 2011 to work for Nokia and after the company declined, she faced the challenge to find an English-speaking job here in Helsinki.

Listen in this interview, how she mastered her career here in Finland with her outstanding sunny spirit and open attitude. During her long experience in HR, Veronica has also the perspective of a recruiter and shares her best tips and valuable insights for other foreigners who are applying for jobs in Finland.

When I have recorded this episode two weeks ago, I did it based on the motivation to create hope for my listeners suffering from unemployment or from any other personal crisis caused by the pandemic or the covid-19 virus. I have gone through some dark moments during the last Christmas time and the beginning of 2022 myself, and I had the feeling that I want to share, how I have managed a mentally challenging time for myself.

I would have never thought that two weeks later, at the point in time when I had planned to publish this episode, we would all face an even more horrible crisis. A war happening right next to us makes people once again feeling insecure, anxious, desperate, sad and powerless.

My thoughts are as well with the people in Ukraine and also with everyone who is mentally suffering from this situation. Although it was not my plan to record a podcast episode with any relation to a geo-political issue, I nevertheless hope, that no matter what currently your biggest personal challenge is, this episode will help you a little bit to manage your feelings.

You are not alone with your emotions!

“I wonder that Finnish recruiters have liked it.” That was one reaction on my published cover letters. I had shared the e-book (available here https://www.michaela-kettner.coach/ebook) on social media and it was discussed a lot. First of all – thank you for all your feedback! And also recruiters and hiring managers expressed their opinions and this statement was a really interesting one.

What do we learn from that? The feedback from recruiters, who have seen my four published cover letters, wondered that I got invited to the job interviews. To them, the cover letters did not fit into the pattern they would recommend. However, with these cover letters I was each time invited to the interviews. So obviously, I have done something right to be successful. Obviously, not one size fits all. Obviously, the goal is to make specific people aware of your skills instead of acting according to a template that is liked by everyone!
